I was wondering if anyone has been to trial via a solicitor that specialises in Drink Driving offences.
This is my second conviction my first one was 7 years ago, in which I received a 18 month ban which was reduced as I completed the course to 15 months. I also received a fine. The road side test failed and the reading at the station was 77. I admit I had been out and drank a lot I struggled to get a taxi and ended up driving.
The second offence I was pulled over the next morning at 8am as the officer said I skipped a red light, I blew 50 on the road and this then increased to 75 at the station. I was released 3 hours later. The first time I was kept in custody for a long time maybe 6 hours. I was also drug tested the first time but not the second time. I wasn't drunk and felt fine, but yet I blew nearly the same as before!
Any advice on pleading not guilty would be appreciated. I believe that I should of been given a 25 page document to read, and I wasn't.
